Spreadsheets
Last update: Saturday 11th of February 2012
A spreadsheet is a rectangular table (or grid) of information, often financial information. The word came from "spread" in its sense of a newspaper or magazine item (text and/or graphics) that covers two facing pages, extending across the center fold and treating the two pages as one large one. The compound word "spread-sheet" came to mean the format used to present bookkeeping ledgers—with columns for categories of expenditures across the top, invoices listed down the left margin, and the amount of each payment in the cell where its row and column intersect—which were traditionally a "spread" across facing pages of a bound ledger (book for keeping accounting records) or on oversized sheets of paper ruled into rows and columns in that format and approximately twice as wide as ordinary paper.

Great article that details a precise workout to use to gain size and strength using linear progression. Includes a downloadable spreadsheet to help you set up your routine. I took my dead lift from 355 to 435 in 12 weeks using this.
If you're anything like me, it takes about 2000 times before you can fully commit someone else's full name or kids' names or phone number to memory. So Travis at Cultivate GREATNESS uploaded a handy Excel spreadsheet where he keeps track of people's important dates and information.
Google has gone a step further in its rivalry with Microsoft. It has launched a brand new service, called Google Docs & Spreadsheets. This is an online document creation and management system.
